After being unable to ride yesterday because of the rain, and having to go work out at LA Fitness, it was great to get outside again today. I wanted to ride 3 round trips to Marsh Park (in preparation for Sunday's fundraiser in which I'm riding), but in the second half of the second one, my left knee began feeling tender again. I thought, "I'm willing to risk hurting my knee some on Sunday if it comes to that. But I sure don't want to push myself today and jeopardize my ability to do Sunday's ride!" So, in the end, I decided to settle for 2 round trips again today, finishing the 18 miles in 1:50 (and 20 seconds).
Sunday's fundraiser is for Ann Arbor's Dawn Farm, a nonprofit organization that speaks of "our continuum of services to assist addicts and alcoholics in achieving long term recovery." I have chosen to ride 25 miles (which should take me roughly 2 and a half hours, or just over it), although other available routes are 10K, 40 miles, and 100 kilometers (over 62 miles).
